Talk title: Composition Over Inheritance

Talk abstract:
The overall talk will be about using composition instead of inheritance. However, I will probably dive into the problem with the "class" keyword, how classes are not really a thing in JS, what a factory function is, how OOP is still useful, what exactly is OOP, how to better implement OOP, and what practices/principles can we take from Functional Programming to better assist our OOP code.

Expected length: 30-45mins

Available months: [Example: July, Aug, Sept | Example: Not October | Example: All of them]

We meet on the second Thursday of the month generally. You can use this handy-dandy list to check dates:

This sounds great @cukejianya! Sorry for the delay on responding, we were booked up through January so I kinda let things slip. Do you want to plan to give this talk in March? It would be March 12, 6:30-8pm (45 min for the talk itself).

[cukejianya]

Yes. @jakerella

[jakerella]

Great! Before then we should work a bit on the abstract. Basically, we need to word it to draw in attendees.

@jakerella I got you. When would you like to sync up? Is there a slack channel I can join? Or would you prefer to work out the kinks/description through this thread/github?

[jakerella]

We generally just work things out here. You can update the description on the issue, or post here in the comments!

@jakerella Unfortunately, I am going to have to reschedule the talk. My job is sending me off to SLC next week. I am currently looking for a replacement speaker.

@cukejianya Thanks for letting us know.
